Pro-Abortion Political Correctness Would Deny Many Babies Life-Saving Treatments

The pro-abortion crowd just hates it when unborn children are recognized in the law as individuals worthy of respect and protection. They don’t care in which context the unborn child is recognized … they will always oppose it.

How well we remember the pro-abortion lobby opposing the Fetal Homicide Law which recognizes unborn children as separate victims when they are killed or injured as a result of violence perpetrated against their mothers. The Fetal Homicide Law, of course, has absolutely nothing to do with abortion. But for pro-abortion zealots, recognizing the unborn child in the law in any context is a threat to their ultimate goal of securing unfettered abortion with no restrictions whatsoever … and getting the taxpayers to pay for it!

Right now at the state capitol, Governor Doyle’s proposed budget, which is under consideration by the Joint Finance Committee, would remove any mention of the unborn child from the BadgerCare Plus program so that they they would no longer be eligible to receive health care under that plan.

Unless unborn children are specifically deemed to be eligible under BadgerCare Plus, they could be denied life-saving treatments and surgical interventions that are carried out in-utero before the child is actually born.

In these life-threatening situations, the unborn child is THE patient who is being treated for a condition unique to that child. These serious situations cannot be resolved with the routine pre-natal care the child’s mother receives under BadgerCare Plus. Unless the unborn child is considered eligible to receive care under BadgerCare Plus, unborn children could be denied in-utero interventions to save their lives.

There are many in-utero treatments and surgeries that are preformed to save the lives of unborn children in the United States. Some of them are: spina bifida corrective surgery; Operative Fetoscopic Laser Therapy to treat Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome; Hypolastic Left-Heart Syndrome where a stent is inserted into a malfunctioning heart; Fetal Urinary Tract Obstructions; surfactant replacement therapy for lung development; tumors of the lungs; fluid in the lungs; tumors along the spine and many other surgeries and therapies.

Isn’t it outrageous that the term “unborn child,” is so threatening to the pro-abortion movement’s radical agenda that they would deny life-saving treatments to the most vulnerable members of the human family?

Call your state senator and Assembly representatative today and tell them to reject any attempts to remove the unborn child from eligibility under the BadgerCare Plus program.
